That lens had outstanding contrast and definition.
The only reason I sold it was I thought 28-85
was better range. But the 35-105 is faster abeit
kinda bulky and didnt balance well without a grip.
I'm sure it was flare proof given the enormity
of its contrast. I remember shooting some kodachrome
25 on a tripod with it that was simply awesome.

A french book on macro photography found that the Tokina 200/3.5 was
remarquable when used with tubes for close-ups.
Like the 28-80mm, this lens can be found as a Hoya HMC lens. So
maybe also the 35-105mm and the 400mm.
Was the 35-105mm acceptable with flairies of light... well, in flary
conditions?
